You've tried “expat parties”
You've been to the networking drinks.
You had a great chat, maybe swapped Instagrams, and then... nothing. Nobody follows up.
It's not you. It's the format.
Without Circles
- ✗ Meetups of 50 people, remember 2 names
- ✗ “We should hang out!” (never happens)
- ✗ You have to organise everything yourself
With Circles
- ✓ Same 6 people, every week, for 6 weeks
- ✓ Friendships that actually stick
- ✓ We handle every detail, just show up
The Program
What kind of evenings?
Curated experiences, carefully designed to start conversations and try new activities together.
Week 1
Drinks, all together
The first evening. Everybody introduces themselves, and we bring icebreakers and activities to get the conversation flowing.
Week 2
Drawing night
Pencils, drinks, and great conversation after a busy day.
Week 3
Dinner together
One table, six people. Enjoying new and exotic food together. *Dinner and drinks not included.
Week 4
Board games night
Finding out who is the competitive type of the group 😂
Week 5
Your circle picks
Photo walk, movie night, museum, bouldering. This week is chosen by the group, together.
Week 6
Party Together
The last official week. And if we did our job right, the first of many unofficial ones. *Drinks not included.

How to join?
01
Tell us about yourself
A 3-minute form, then a quick 15-minute chat with us. That is how we match you with the right six people.
02
Meet your circle in person
Drinks with your six, all together. If it is not your group, you can step out within 48 hours, full refund.
03
Enjoy 6 weeks of experiences
One evening a week, same day, same time. Painting, dinner, games. We reserve, we organize, you just show up.
04
Join the community
When your 6 weeks end, your circle joins the wider Hold My Club calendar, and the friendships keep their momentum.
Price
How much does it cost?
The Deal
€60 and you earn it back
Every evening you show up, we hand you €10 back. Come to all six and the whole thing cost you nothing.
- ✓ Six organized evenings, all logistics handled
- ✓ Same day, same time, same six people
- ✓ A host from Hold My Club at every session
It is not a price, it is a promise to the other six. We only keep money for the evenings you skip.
The Guarantee
Leave with at least one real friendship, or the next circle is free.
If you finish your 6 weeks without a single person you are genuinely excited to see again, we place you in a new circle at no cost. And after the first evening, you have 48 hours to opt out and get everything back.
Our Previous Events
Are the events fun?
“I had a lot of fun playing the games and talking to people. Fantastic event, fantastic hosts!”
“The events are really well thought out. You can tell the hosts care about making sure everyone talks to each other, not just the people they came with.”
“I came alone and honestly did not expect much. Left with a group chat and weekend plans. These events are different from anything else in Paris.”
“The icebreakers are so fun. Dont stop!”
FAQ
Any questions?
Is this dating?
No, and we are strict about it. Circles are mixed groups built for friendship. We say this on the application, we say it on the intro call, and we mean it: if you are looking to date, this is not the place.
How much does it cost?
€60 for the 6 weeks. And every evening you show up, we hand you €10 back. Come to all six and the whole thing cost you nothing. We only keep money for the evenings you skip.
Wait, so it can be free?
Yes. We are not trying to make money on your attendance; we are trying to make sure seven people actually show up for each other every week. The €60 is commitment, not price. Show up and it comes back to you, €10 at a time.
Is food and drink included?
No. The €60 covers your spot in the circle and the organizing. What you eat and drink is on you, a dinner, a round at the bar, whatever your circle spends that evening. For hands-on nights like painting we cover the materials, but the restaurant and the drinks you pay yourself. Think of it like going out with friends: we bring the plan and the people, you cover your own plate.
What if I do not click with my group?
The first evening is the test, just drinks, all together. If it is not your group, tell us within 48 hours and you get every euro back, no questions. And if you finish all six weeks without one person you would want to see again, your next circle is on us.
Who is it for?
Anyone in Paris who wants real friendships, not more acquaintances.
How is this different from your regular events?
Our regular events are open, different people every time. A circle is the opposite: the same six people, every week, for six weeks. One is how you meet people. The other is how they become your people.
All the events are in the same day?
Most weeks, yes. However, if most of the group would rather meet on a different day, we adjust the schedule to fit.
How do you send the money back?
We refund you on Stripe every week. After each session you attend, €10 goes back to the card you paid with. No action needed on your side.
What are you waiting for?
Next circles start 7 September 2026. Apply in 3 minutes.
